I have no intention to return to PDP – Oke

The governorship candidate of the Alliance for Democracy (AD) in the 2016 poll, Chief Olusola Oke (SAN) has refuted the report that he was planning to return to the People’s Democratic Party(PDP).

Oke who is the former National Legal Adviser of the PDP before joining  the All Progressives Congress (APC) shortly  before 2015 general election won by President Muhammadu Buhari, later moved to the AD and contested against Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, the then APC candidate.

He however retraced his step and returned to APC at a rally in Akure late last year.

A statement by his media aide, Rotimi Ogunleye said “There is no iota of truth in the story. It is a story planted by his detractors.

“Regardless of the unfavourable experience in APC as claimed by the planted story, I have no intention of leaving APC either for PDP or any other party for now. Politics is in the air and one will understand the wicked intention behind the planted story especially at this time.

While appreciating the information dissemination role of the media,Oke was of the opinion that the profession demands the right of confirmation of information and event before their reportage.

The statement said “We think any information about the person, office, profession or vocation of Chief Oke should be confirmed before any publication of such information as he is accessible and would have thought the said news will be confirmed before its needless reportage.

“We therefore advise the public to please disregard the news as it only represents the narrow intention of the minds behind the planted story”.
